N.H. police chiefs must put a stop to gun raffle

It's unbelievable to me that a police agency would further flood our population with deadly weapons via a raffle.

Feb. 6 — To the Editor:

The following letter was sent to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police:

It's unbelievable to me that a police agency would further flood our population with deadly weapons via a raffle. Please rethink the raffle plan. If anyone is injured or killed from one of those weapons, the raffle organizers will be to blame. The police are for protection of people, not endangerment to us. This raffle will result in higher odds of persons getting hurt by guns. Please find alternative, safe objects instead of guns to raffle to raise money, or a different venue entirely.

Please pass along to management and colleagues, and acknowledge and respond to my plea.

Thank you,

Dixie Tarbell
